    Equity in education: Levelling the playing field of learning with Lee Elliot Major

    quity in Education sets out a new equity-based approach in education to help teachers improve the prospects of under-resourced and working-class pupils.The equity approach recognises that we must address our own cultural biases and barriers within the classroom, while helping to remove extra barriers to learning experienced by children outside schools. Based on thousands of research studies and years of working with expert teachers, the book sets out the principles and practical strategies for trainee teachers, teachers and teacher leaders.Adopting an equity mindset involves four key principles:· equity not equality - doing more to overcome the extra barriers some learners experience· capacity not deficit thinking - recognising the talents in all pupils· deep not shallow relationships - developing authentic individual relationships with pupils· multiple not singular talents - acknowledging that human talents come in many forms.Equity in Education also advocates the national policies that would enable teachers to prioritise an equitable approach and reduce divides between the education haves and have-nots.

    Changing Perceptions with Graham Chatterley

    Written by Graham Chatterley, Changing Perceptions: Deciphering the language of behaviour provides everyone working with children a better understanding of the causes of challenging behaviour and what motivates it. This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it. The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll. Changing Perceptions examines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom. Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don’t just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived. In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more. Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour. Contents include: Introduction Chapter 1: Relationships Chapter 2: How we respond Chapter 3: The origins of behaviour Chapter 4: Short-term survival responses Chapter 5: What is the behaviour communicating? Chapter 6: The five responses to threat Chapter 7: Prevention is better than cure Chapter 8: Consequences Chapter 9: Long-term survival Chapter 10: Shielding from shame Chapter 11: Not school ready Chapter 12: Overwhelm Chapter 13: Lifting them up Chapter 14: Linking self-esteem and additional needs Chapter 15: My autism journey Chapter 16: Emotional resilience Chapter 11: The power of trauma Chapter 12: Behind the mask Chapter 13: Expectations and values Chapter 14: Enforcing external control versus teaching self-control Chapter 15: Less is sometimes more Conclusion

    Teach from Your Best Self with Jay Schroder

    Teachers, this book is a guide for taking care of education’s most valuable resource: you. Author Jay Schroder, founder of the popular Teach from Your Best Self Institute, demonstrates why the version of ourselves that we bring to teaching matters and describes how we can rejuvenate ourselves while maximizing student learning. Part I explains why the self that a teacher brings to the classroom is important. Part II explores skills that will help us sustain a best-self state in all manner of situations. Part III delves into those moments when we’re provoked beyond our limits and our "hurtspots" come sharply into view. It offers ways to avert a reactive state or recover from it. Lastly, Part IV provides simple approaches for building a more durable, best self for the long term―a best self with deepened capacity to respond rather than react in the pressurized conditions of teaching. With fresh ideas presented throughout, you’ll learn how to prioritize your own well-being so you can continue to make a difference for your students. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teach-Your-Best-Self-Classroom/dp/1032416874/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XRBL87X70HXH&keywords=teach+from+your+best+self&qid=1691233277&sprefix=teach+from+your+best+self%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-1 Phil's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Naylors-Natter-collective-teachers-education/dp/1472992466/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1MG7NPVEZI3SJ&keywords=naylors+matter&qid=1691233966&sprefix=Naylor%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1

    Rethinking School Inspection- Is there a better way? With Tracey O'Brien

    This timely book examines what a meaningful school accountability system could look like in England. The book starts with a deep dive into our current inspection model, discussing some of the current pressures within the system, and comparing our inspection approach to that of other countries and sectors. It moves on to show how Ofsted and school inspections are perceived and portrayed - using first-hand accounts, academic papers, government publications, and media reports - and pulls together some of the current thinking on how the model could be improved. The author ends with her own proposals for a more meaningful and humane school accountability system. She suggests we rethink what we do, and how we do it, with a call for wide-ranging consultation leading to evidence-informed reform of the school inspection process.
